STEAM ROLLERS

Steam makes hair supple and bendable, which causes it to curl easily. Steam also leaves behind moisture when it evaporates, which results in firmly set curls that are also very shiny.

Self-grip rollers (including Velcro rollers) are hollow and don’t contain a central heating unit. They’re best used on nearly-dry hair; simply roll up and then blow-dry for soft curls or volume. Also great for travel.

Most hair rollers and setters heat from the inside-out-either via steam or a central heating section called a coil.

The best coil rollers for your hair include coils that are made with ceramic or tourmaline (or both) and that use ionic technology. Ionic technology means that the coils produce negative ions. Negative ions re-balance positively charged hair which smoothes the cuticle, seals in moisture, prevents frizz and creates shine.
